Time for a new carpet this Winter?

In the midst of the Winter months, we can all expect at least someone in our households to get caught a bit under the weather; that someone could even be yourself. With the weather getting colder and flu season in full swing it is important to stay warm and take care of yourself. 

This is why when it comes to renovating your home, or simply upgrading your current flooring, it is important to look at flooring options that will ensure coziness in your home and have anti-allergy properties to prevent household illnesses from getting worse.

Probably the most popular flooring option that many families gravitate towards in the colder months is carpet. A good quality carpet will ensure a room stays warmer than a room with hard-wood flooring would by retaining heat, and will thus provide a warm and dry haven for you to escape from the cold of outside. 

However, what scares most people away from carpet is the fact that many people believe they trap allergy-causing substances such as dust and pollen therefore triggering people’s allergies. This couldn't be further from the truth as if you stick to a natural wool or nylon carpet and regularly vacuum, those allergy-causing substances have no reason to stick around. 

Natural wool carpet fibres are formed in a coil-like shape, which causes dust and moisture in the carpet to disperse away. This allows for allergy sufferers to enjoy the warmth and coziness of carpet, without the allergy driven consequences.

At D&M Flooring and Windows we can supply and fit good quality carpets that will ensure your house stays cozy during the colder months, while preventing allergy sufferers from getting hit harder.
